The polls are now arriving at some of our area members homes and should be to anyone who lives within the Sternfeld zip codes in the next few days. Please give it several days to get to you before you panic that you need a replacement.
Here are some note:
-As you know this will the first try at responses by email. The populace will have to get their MEMBER poll into the computer written or circled with their votes. Cell phone photos, scan to PDF on copiers at work or school, or regular scanners that save an image -- are all totally fine.
-Electronic comments are welcome IN the body of the email or as attachments with the name of the sender on the document (title and in the text...IE "Comments from Baroness Moira written below...").
- PLEASE title the emails "Sternfeld Poll" (And, ALL of this is ON the poll...sometimes people just don't read!)
-YOU NEED TO CHOOSE ONE OR THE OTHER METHOD TO RETURN. I will try to reply to each message to let them know it's been received as they come over by email.
Keep in mind that ALL polls need a member number and Modern name --- or they are invalid (I will not be soliciting that information.)
-send them to:
group.transitions@midrealm.org
- Subject:
Sternfeld polls
- If you would like me to collect them and do a mass scan, you can hand them back to me at any fighter practice or SCA activity where you see me. I have a scanner at work that I can use for this.
- You can also use the traditional method to mail them back.
Here is a FAQ with some answers to common questions:

From the Minister of Arts & Sciences
Your friendly local MoAS sends greetings.
Our regional Arts and Sciences fair is fast upon us. As your new minister of arts and sciences, I am looking forward to spotlighting the artisans of our great Barony. I am hoping to build a searchable database of the various arts and sciences including EACH member of Sternfeld and listing their areas of expertise, so that others may know who to talk to about learning and that like-minded individuals can come together. To that end, I implore that you send me note of your name and all subjects you pursue, study, or dabble.
There are several active interest groups in this barony, including dance, bardic, metalworking, and sewing. If you are a member or leader of such a group, please send me updates of your meetings. I will be happy to pass them along to our Regional MoAS.
Best Regards and Happy Crafting!

From your Baroness
Greetings at the end of a long, cold winter!
As most of you know by now, the upcoming Baronial Polling is the business of the hour. We are exceptionally pleased to have such an exceptional and dedicated set of candidates who have offered their names for consideration by the Crown, and we thank each couple personally for their willingness. We trust that our populace will deliberate over the merits of these candidates carefully, and offer their best and wisest counsel to the Crown as they submit their polls during the month of April. If anyone has any questions or concerns about the polling process, or needs help with returning their submission, we encourage them to reach out to us or to Baroness Moira in her capacity as Seneschal in order to ensure that their voices are likewise heard.
With the acquisition of new Baronial Thrones this winter, we are pondering a gracious and suitable disposition for the previous set of Baronial thrones. While not the original thrones of Sternfeld, they have served long and well and, despite damage which makes them increasingly unstable and unsafe as seating. We would welcome emails suggesting clever ways that the wood from these thrones could be repurposed, or perhaps that the thrones can be formally destroyed.
We are as always delighted to serve. This is an exciting time for Sternfeld, and we look forward to transitioning with you.

From the Baroness
Unto all to whom these missives come, greetings!
The holiday season has been hard upon us, and we revel in the chance to greet friends old and new and make merry with our populace. Sternfeld Holiday Court is upcoming on the 6th of January, and we hope to see many of you there. We will be hosting period gaming as well as a meeting of the Order of the Golden Tower, and look forward to the day greatly.
As the date of our Baronial polling draws closer, we wish to remind those who are thinking of submitting their names for consideration that time to finalize your decision draws short. The Pale announcement notifying the Known World of our intentions should be published in the February issue (due out soon), and the date set for letters of intent to be submitted formally to the Seneschal is February 11- March 17. The polling will tentatively be taking place in April, and to that end, it is our intention to schedule a Q&S session for prospective coronet couples in the last several weeks of March, in order for the populace to offer their informed counsel to Their Majesties.
This is the time of year in which we reflect on the past, and anticipate the changes of the upcoming year. We look forward to walking this road together with you all.
Yours in service,
Odile, Baronne Úlfr, Baron
